This is beautiful!  Love the music and seeing New York City, live at night. ❤️  Wish I were there to see it in person.

Oldiesmann

The lovely Fran Jeffres performing "Meglio Stassera" (aka "It Had Better Be Tonight") from the first Pink Panther film. Music by Henry Mancini, Italian lyrics by Franco Migliacci.


Marilyne

One of my favorites songs from the past.  Meaningful lyrics to think about as we grow older.  Time Waits for No One.

Oldiesmann

A great rendition of the classic "Five Foot Two" by Firehouse Five Plus Two, a dixieland jazz group led by legendary Disney animator Ward Kimball and featuring several other Disney animators/artists.


Vanilla-Jackie

Who remembers the great Sophie Tucker....Vaudeville medley 1956..

Had a marvelous "earworm" grab me this AM.  The song, "Once Upon A Time" sung by John Gary.  Ahhh!  He has a beautiful voice.  I do have an album of his music around here somewhere.  Must go dig that one out!

Related to my last post, Allan Sherman's parody from the classic 1963 album My Son, The Nut.

A favorite from the 1940's

Oldiesmann

Found this the other night. A well known fiddle tune played solely on harmonica at the same breakneck pace as the standard fiddle versions.

Oldiesmann

A forgotten hit from the late 50s. This hit #9 in the US in 1959. In the UK, the hit version was by The Avons.

Vanilla-Jackie

Another Golden Oldie ( Lovers Rock reggae ) Goodnight My Love - The Pioneers 


Vanilla-Jackie

#1756
Jesse Belvin ( Goodnight My Love ) a smoother version....


Vanilla-Jackie

#1757
Jesse Belvin (  Guess Who ) 1959...such a tragic story of his death..


Marilyne

Jackie -  I had never heard of Jesse Belvin, but listened to his music and then looked him up online.  Very sad that he died in a car accident, at the young age of 27! 

Marilyne

Martha Tilton, singing with Benny Goodman's Orchestra, "The Angels Sing" - another of the many hit songs written by Johnny Mercer.

A cute song - reminding me of my long lost cottontail bunny rabbits.  :(         

Marilyne

Four birthdays within the past four days, of older singers/musicians, we all remember.  Nice to know they're still living, and a couple of them are still performing.

Willie Nelson, 90, April 29th
Judy Collins, 84, May 1
Rita Coolidge, 78, May 1
Engelbert Humperdinck, 87, May 2

I hope those of you who remember any of them will pick a favorite song and post it here. :love:

Willie Nelson, "Ain't It Funny How Time Slips Away".

Engelbert Hunperdinck and Angelica Maria - A Man Without Love


Marilyne

Jackie - Engelbert, was very popular over here and had lots of hits.   The  two I remember best are "Love Me With All of Your Heart", and "Release Me".

Marilyne, i think Please Release Me and The Last Waltz were his chart topping hits here in UK in 1967..selling more than one million copies each says wikededia..

Marilyne
